    There was a car chase in LA in the late 90s. The truck being chased stopped on an overpass. The driver lit himself on fire. Then he jumped out and ran around because he was on fire. Then he grabbed a gun from his truck and shot himself in the head.

      That kinda proves my point. There’s no “what else they’re willing to do” after they’re already on fire. There’s no next step in the plan.

          You think someone on fire is going to be able to accurately use any kind of weapon? Let alone a gun?

            Yeah firing off rounds just all over the place is totally safe.

            I’m just imagining some dude standing there stalwart while a dude on fire is firing off rounds into the crowd. “HE CANT AIM. HE CAN JUST BURN YOUR OR FIRE OF RANDOM ROUNDS!” 🤣

              “Better draw my gun just in case this dying guy on fire has a gun”

              OK buddy.

                Suicide by cop is a real thing. Keep on pretending that an immolated man can’t be a threat. Just unhinged stuff here. Wow.

                  Keep on saying stupid, weird shit and then arguing with the people who call you weird and stupid, I guess.

                  Wow

      so the example proving that you should point a gun at a person on fire is that otherwise he might kill himself even faster than the fire will.

          Yes, everyone but you is uneducated on the risks of being around people who set themselves on fire and then shoot other people.

          could have

          if it’s such a huge risk then why is it impossible for you to mention a single example of someone on fire shooting a cop? let’s all go around making up hypothetical situations that have never previously occurred to excuse our wrongdoings

          Yeah, I just stopped replying to this thread. It’s amazing how stupid people can be. Heavy breathing troglodytes sounds about right.
